About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take it easy and do what I can to get what I want.

ABOUT ME

A young and stupid, but well grounded individual that loves nothing more than being able to see sights I haven't seen before, converse with people I've never met with before, and experience life to the fullest potential I am capable of.

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't ever about one single thing. Whether it is about living lavishly, traveling, finding new people to talk to, it's important to remember that one should never focus solely on just one of anything. To truly live, I feel that it is necessary to keep an open and accepting mind, to understand how insignificant, yet at the same time, how significant we are as individuals.

Life is a journey, and it doesn't always end in the way we wish. We can make all the plans in the world, only for them to be shattered in an instant. What's important is to hold a personal set of moral and beliefs that you can always fall back on, and to accept any situation with the attitude that sometimes things simply are as they are. We can only do so much to influence our life around us, and being able to understand when to "go with the flow" is of vital importance.
